What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Moisés Ballesteros — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Drake Baldwin — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Alex Bregman — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Drake Baldwin — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Matt Olson — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Moisés Ballesteros — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Drake Baldwin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Alex Bregman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Drake Baldwin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Matt Olson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
